Equipment
- Deep fryer or heavy bottom pot

- Wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 wooden skewers
- 1 cup of yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1/8 tsp of black pepper
- 4 tsp of baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of whole milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Insert wooden skewers into the hot dogs, leaving enough space at the bottom to handle them.
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
- Pour the batter into a tall glass.
- Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy bottom pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Notes
Use a cooking thermometer to ensure your oil stays at the correct temperature. If the oil is too hot, your corn dogs will burn, and if it’s too cold, they will be oily and not crispy.
Crispy homemade corn dogs are a fun, nostalgic treat that bring a taste of the fair right into your kitchen. This recipe is a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike. Enjoy the delicious contrast of a juicy hot dog wrapped in a crispy, sweet cornmeal batter.
